Hyproline

The general objective of Hyproline is to strengthen the competitiveness of the European industry by introducing manufacturing methods, which will allow companies to

reduce time-to-market and number of rejects,

make more customized and innovative products with a higher market value, and

make products > 20% more accurate with considerable savings (>30%) in consump-tion of waste metal, fluids and services, with an equivalent reduction of CO2 emission.

By further developing the manufacturing process itself as well as by research and application work on materials, pre and post treatment of the parts produced and supporting software Hyproline adds capabilities to commercially available manufacturing systems, in terms of speed, product quality and versatility. By keeping focus on the entire process from conceptual outline of the product via product design, engineering and production planning to actual manufacturing and control of quality, the project contributes to the development of a versatile manufacturing process, suited for industrial produc-tion by SMEs of complex custom made metal (meso scale = order 10 mm) parts in small batches or even in one-of-a-kind production mode.

The Hyproline manufacturing concept will be demonstrated by its pilot implementation for serial production of customized high quality meso parts for two different industrial sectors of

Cassa Mobile

Flexible mini-factory for local and customized production in a containerThe CassaMobile concept aims to provide local, flexible and environmentally friendly production of highly customised parts.

The production system is based on a truly modular architecture, allowing rapid adaptation to new requirements. This 'plug & produce' architecture includes mechanical and control system adaptation. The footprint of the CassaMobile production container is minimised to enable transportation to and deployment in areas with severely limited space, whilst minimising investment and infrastructure costs.A pool of process modules enables many different configurations. Modules include for Additive Manufacturing, CNC-milling, assembly and cleaning.

A comprehensive pool of interchangeable process modules provides free configuration of the process chain to suit specific product requirements. This includes modules such as Additive Manufacturing, CNC-milling, automated assembly and cleaning which enables continuous production of one-of-a-kind products.

The CassaMobile concept is supported by an easy-to-use human-machine-interface and software for the direct manufacturing of custom designed products making the system cost-effective for end-users, operators and engineers.

All of these components are designed to be embedded within a 20' ISO-container which can be easily transported and deployed wherever required. A comprehensive cleanliness concept allows the CassaMobile system to adapt to differing process environment requirements. If the product requires a validated production process (for medical devices for example), this can be realised within the enclosed unit – thus enabling the possibility of a local validated production system.

SASAM

SASAM's mission is to drive the growth of AM to efficient and sustainable industrial processes by integrating and coordinating Standardisation activities for Europe by creating and supporting a standardisation organisation in the field of AM.

The Additive Manufacturing (AM) concept is based on additive freeform fabrication technologies for the automated production of complex products.

Additive Manufacturing is defined as the direct production of finished goods using additive processes from digital data.

A key advantage is that AM eliminates the need for tooling, such as moulds and dies, that can make the introduction of new products prohibitively expensive, both in time and money. This enables the production of forms that have been long considered impossible by conventional series production—in fact, they can be created fast, flexibly, and with fewer machines.

SASAM Standardisation roadmap 2014HOT

This document describes the roadmap for standardisation activities for Additive Manufacturing as drafted from the SASAM project.

The interest and attention for the development of AM standards have gained momentum. A group of over 100 industrially driven stakeholders from all over the world (with a centre of gravity in Europe) is currently active in AM. These stakeholders indicated the need and type of standards to be developed, they must be focussed on customers and market and support industrial implementation of AM. A number of standards categories were distinguished such as design, specific industrial needs, quality of manufactured parts, safety (regulations) and education.

A listing of already existing standards for AM has been drafted. Where relevant, liaisons have first been established with standardisation bodies and an assessment will be made whether further cooperation with Technical Committees will be desirable for AM topics as well. It must be noted that there is no CEN/TC on Additive Manufacturing at the moment. As part of the SASAM project it will be assessed whether the initiation

MansSYS

ManSYS is a MANufacturing and supply chain management SYStem. ManSYS aims to develop and demonstrate a set of e-supply chain tools to enable the mass adoption of Additive Manufacturing.

Most manufacturers outsource some or all of their manufacturing operations to third-parties specialists on a global basis, but not without complications. ManSYS aims to overcome these obstacles through develop and demonstrate a set of e-supply chain tools to enable the mass adoption of 3D printing.

Most manufacturers outsource some or all of their manufacturing operations to third-parties specialists on a global basis. This allows them to realise cost advantages and open new markets. but not without complications. Communication problems with external suppliers, supply chain visibility and coordination are just some of the obstacles.

ManSYS aims to overcome these obstacles by developing and demonstrating a set of e-supply chain tools to enable the mass adoption of 3D printing. Integrating the information systems of all the supply-chain partners makes it possible to overcome these complications. To demonstrate the capabilities of the platform, demonstrator parts are used from Smith & Nephew, GE and Wisildent.

AddFactor

In today globalized world, companies are trying to remain competitive through the adoption of a strategy where high quantity production of goods is the leverage to reduce costs.By negating this approach, ADDFactor proposes the "Mini-factories" concept, which is conceived to be an innovative solution for most of the actors involved in the whole supply chain: the relationship between retailers and the manufacturing technologies will be considered and characterized by a new production framework concept, founded on central knowledge-based design and local distributed manufacturing.This high-level concept will be applied focusing on need-driven products, and ADDFactor will manage the complexity of their design phase thanks to a direct connection with the retailer, that will provide "biometric data" of the customers as tacit requirements and "aesthetics tests" as explicit demands, being both fundamental for an effective individual personalization.ADDFactor achievements will be focused on two different levels of manufacturing solutions, which will be placed:

at retail environment, to consider products simple and/or reduced in terms of assembled components (i.e. orthotics or modular fashion heels and plateau);and at district level when the products are complex and the manufacturing procedures cannot be scaled at local level (i.e. sport shoes or complete customized fashion shoes).

Within this overall project concept, ADDFactor will structure its activities towards the achievement of different objectives, from diagnostic devices to advanced design tools in order to convert personal data in individual product specifications. The manufacturing is then guaranteed by a local manufacturing through novel ultra-fast and auto-configurable machines.Thanks to the concurrent impact of these project results, ADDFactor will spark off an innovation virtuous cycle towards a future European industry.
